"Wakey, wakey, little sister", I could hear Alessia whispering.
"Hmmm, give me 4 more hours" I said while turning over.
"That's ridiculous to have another 4 more hours. You've been asleep since 9 last night its 9 in the morning"
"I'm 5, I need more sleep to grow", I pulled the covers over my face
"Then you should sleep for like 2 weeks then" she said giggling. "Do you get it. It's because you're so short"
"You know what" I said shooting up out of the covers my hair starting catching fire.
"You know mum says you need to control your temper. Come up I've been training since 6 in the morning and I wanted to send time with my baby sister", Alessia said, but it felt like more of a reason to get out of training. I looked her in eyes and tilted my head letting her know that I knew she was up to something. "Okay, okay, (sighs) fine, I'm avoiding someone at training and I need an excuse to not go in"
"Hmmmmm"
"Uhhhhh fine I'm avoiding Dad. He found out something and I. Ummm want to avoid him"
"I can't help. If I don't know why you need my help. What did Dad find out?"
"hefoundoutthatihaveaboyfriend"
"I'm sorry what"
"HEFOUNDOUTTHATIHAVEABOYFRIEND", she said speaking louder but still speaking fast. I laid back down and pulled the cover over my head. "Fine, fine, you're such a diva. He found out that I have a boyfriend"
"Wow, so you did have a boyfriend"
"What do you mean did"
"Well if dad found out he's a dead man. May he rest in pieces, his life cut short. Only 15 years old"
"I'm sure you ain't five"
"That's right I'm turning 6"
"AND, I'm turning 16. I believe I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A BOYFRIEND"
"Don't shout its early in the morning. And I ain't had a tea yet"
"AGAIN seriously are you 5. This is why your GG favourite", She rolling her eyes. But damn straight I'm her favourite, old people love me, my cheeks are so pinchable.
(GG- means Great Grandma)
"Well GG is my favourite too"
"That's just because she gives you all the sweets and chocolate you want"
"Don't forget the fried dumplings. Everything in oil, beautiful. Plus mum doesn't give me sweets and chocolates, or anything fried"
"Mum doesn't give anyone, fried stuff. Mums a health nut. Look are you gonna help me or not"
"Fine I'll help. What do you need me to do?"
"I need you to find away to distract Dad so he's not worried about me. You know, how you use your cuteness and 'innocence'. Come on you work mum and Dad all the time"
"I DO NOT"
"Really! Wow so. Look Nixy, listen I'm your only sister and I'm older" she crawled over to me and started to rub my hair, slightly messing it up. "Have you heard about the law here"
"What law?"
" Well the law says you must listen to your older siblings or you'll be locked away"
"Damn that's crazy"
"I know. I know it is but I don't make the laws"
"No I'm not saying the law is crazy. I'm saying it's crazy that you think I'm Asmin. Now my willingness to help you from the goodness of my own heart has gone"
"I'm sorry. That worked on Asmin when he was young. What do you want"
"I would like your secret stash of snacks. And you will buy me snacks from now on. Then we have a deal"
"Fine deal. Lets get you dressed and you can work you magic"

At the table eating breakfast, in front of my eyes was unsweetened non-fat yogurt, with sugar free granola, what I would do for waffles. I love my mother but she's always trying to feed me this healthy stuff. I'm pretty sure this is the reason why I'm not gaining any weight, I miss GG she cooked all the good food. Its strange because although my Great Grandma is Queen of the Sacrar, in the Pyro empire there is 15 countries apart of the Empire, Pyro is the main country in the centre, 5 of the countries is ruled by my father's side of the family, Great Grandma, Grandma, Aunty Si, Aunty Leah and Aunty Lanten.
"Alessia is there anything you want share with your mother" Father placed his elbows on the table and looked at Alessia across from the table. Well time to work the youngest sibling magic.
"I want to share some thing with mummy" I said trying to beam light out of my eyes.
"Um darling I feel like what Sia has to share may be more important", Father said gloating. Time for the water works. Tears began streaming down my face, I climbed down the stairs and run to my mother.
"Nixy whats wrong" My mother said lifting me up onto her lap.
"Daddy doesn't think I'm important", my mother looked an glared at him.
"What. No. I didn't mean it like that I just feel-"
"I- I just - just want to tell Mummy about the yummy cloud I ate" I said
"What do you mean cloud? Did, did you give her cotton candy. Didn't I tell you how bad sweets are, her adult teeth are coming in this is how you ruin your teeth" My mother said opening my mouth. " I told you not to give my children that poison"
"Well I thought I could OUR kids whatever I want. And it was just some cotton candy", my father said
"Yeah mummy. It made my heart feel funny when I ate it", hoping this will distract my father from even thinking about Alessia.
"You see. You see. I told you sugar is poison and you just gave it to our daughter" my mother said covering my ears.
"Wow okay. Okay. Well I'm pretty sure I saw you eat a whole cake the other day" my father said.
"You, you take that back. I ate a slice because it was cake tasting for the children birthday banquet. AND it was completely vile", my mother said while rubbing the back of her neck.
"Vile? VILE? You even licked your fingers", my father said.
"Well. Children get dressed, we're not going training in fact we're going shopping", my mother stood up and carried me out of the room, whilst ushering Asmin and Alessia out.
"But mum, I wanted to work on my sword swings" Asmin said.
"WELL STAY WITH YOUR FATHER THEN. I'm sure he knows everything that's good for you. Sia, Nixy lets go" I winked at my sister, giving her at least a couple of days to figure out what to do. Looking back I saw my brother whisper something to my dad looking completely confused
